Olympian Lindsey Jacobellis says being a woman in sports can be challenging 'when you get lowballed'

Lindsey Jacobellis is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t give up. The pro snowboarder, a competitor at this year’s Winter Olympics, admits she “wasn’t really good a snowboarding” when she first took up the sport at age 10, after her big brother Ben introduced her to it. Instead, Jacobellis spent years honing her skills in Stratton, Vermont, and entered her first X Games competition at 15 years old.
